Then follow these tips to staying on track during the home stretch:

APPS

There are multiple apps available for smart devices that can assist in your hunt for a home. Setting up alerts keeps you updated at a moment’s notice if a property with your specifications becomes available. Check out some of the most reputable apps:

· Nielsen Prizm – Allows you to research the details of the home’s community.
